Saturday, she even goes to school with a couple of the kids on her team. We love cheering her on and have no problem finding the little pink "prancing" soccer player when she is out on the field! I don't know if she or us giggle more while she is out on the field...she grins and just loves chasing and prancing around that ball. Her favorite warm up game is "Sharks & Minnows" and she got to be a shark today! Today was special because all of her special 
friends came to watch and brought hot cocoa and pom poms to 
cheer her on. 
We had to capture this love of soccer and the color pink colliding because after her first game day....She never took them off from 10:00am all the way thru her grandma's Birthday party and 
managed to get her pajamas on and I walked in and realized coming out the bottom of her purple comforter were some sparkly pink and white cleats that she slept in ALL NIGHT LONG!
great as 
great as
